Buckeye, like cucumber, often loses its identity and goes to market mixed with yellow poplar. It is called for separately by the manufacturers of arti- ficial limbs to meet what may probably be termed its most exacting use. but for this purpose was not reported in Pennsylvania. The wood is light, soft, cross grained, compact, and difficult to split. The color is creamy white and so uniform that the sapwood can hardly be distinguished from the heartwood. Two species of buckeye are native to Pennsylvania, the fetid buckeye (Arsculus glabra) and the yellow or sweet buckeye (Aesculus octandra). The western part of this State is the eastern limit of both species and it is impossible to ascertain the quantity of each that the manufacturers use. This wood is more evenly distributed among the various classes of manu- facture calling for it than any other shown in this report. Table 41.—Consumption of Buckeye, year ending June, 1912.
